Abstract

Physical universality of a cellular automaton was defined by Janzing in 2010 as the ability to implement an arbitrary transformation of spatial patterns.In 2014, Schaeffer gave a construction of a two-dimensional physically universal cellular automaton.We construct a one-dimensional version of the automaton and a reversibly universal automaton.
